Pin collecting has been a little hobby for the past couple of years. I mean, it is a little portable piece of art that now most artists I love also offer. However, being in lockdown seems to have made ...

Designing electronic systems that comprise multiple interacting boards, connectors and cables requires a multi-discipline team collaboration to effectively manage design complexity for optimum product ...

As complexity grows, trying to figure this out on a spreadsheet is a monumental task that is prone to error. Multi-die and three-dimensional packages have made ...

Load-board design is a critical part of any project that uses ATE to test integrated circuits. Load boards provide the interface between the ATE and the device under test (DUT). A properly designed ...

PIN diodes are ideal for transmit-receive (TR) switches because of a favorable blend of cost, size, and switching speed. Although the PIN diode in the transmit (Tx) arm can be connected as either ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the development of SoC-based (system-on-chip) circuit boards, the SoC’s additional capabilities will provide ...

For leading-edge devices such as RF ICs, increasing frequency, package density, and thermal issues offer significant challenges to designing effective socket and load-board solutions for test.
